Coalition Chairman MK Ofir Katz on Wednesday accused the High Court of Justice of hypocrisy and 'unrestrained rampage,' saying the court now calls budget transfers a 'procedural defect' while allowing similar transfers by the Bennett government a week before elections, according to his remarks.
Katz issued a follow-up statement Wednesday afternoon, sharpening his criticism of the High Court's involvement in coalition budget legislation. The remarks, which include the characterization of the court as being in 'unrestrained rampage,' contrast the current judicial stance with the court's tolerance of budget transfers by the Bennett government a week before the 2022 elections. As The Zioneer reported earlier Wednesday, Katz had already accused the court of hypocrisy on the same issue.
